Coco Steamboat (海底炉) at Old Klang Road

Coco Steamboat (海底炉) is one of our favourite steamboat restaurant mainly because of its popular giant pork knuckle bone milky and creamy double stewed soup base. Our other favourite steamboat place is the Damansara Village Steamboat Restaurant for its wine soup and wine lala. Another favourite steamboat restaurant is the Yuen Buffet Steamboat for its eat all you can concept and the honey-glazed chicken wing.

Since the Old Klang Road branch has moved to a new location, we deciced to come here for Chap Goh Meh and my birthday celebration. Coco Steamboat also has branches in Cheras and Puchong which we never went before. This blog post is for the Old Klang Road branch. We have never been to other branches of Coco Steamboat.

These fresh ingredients are set menu for 1 person (RM 18.80) but customer must order minimum 2 sets. There are prawns, pork balls, fish noodles, quail egg, dumplings, yam, crab sticks, fish balls, fuchuk, cabbage and other food which I’m not sure the name. There were four of us and we only ordered 2 sets as we don’t eat a lot.

Just like other steamboat restaurants, the set comes with egg and noodle or mee hoon.

We ordered a dish of watercress vegetable as add on. RM 8.90 per dish.

Fried garlic and chili sauce to go with the steamboat. Personally I like the green colored one as the red colored one is too spicy for me.

We ordered Coco Steamboat’s popular Double Stewed Soup with whole bone of pork knuckle. For this soup base you need to pay RM 20.90 for a maximum of 5 persons sharing. Each additional 1 person will need to add-on RM 1. This soup is the best steamboat soup I have ever tasted and you can see almost every table here will order this milky soup base.

The pork bone soup is boiled with big pork knuckle for many hours and you can find a lot of collagen inside. The soup also comes with radish, white cabbages, shredded yam and Chinese Beancurd Skin (Fu Chuk). It is also seasoned with black pepper.

The giant pork knuckle from the soup. You can compare the size with the Chinese spoon here. It also has a lot of meat and collagen stuck onto it and requires bare hands to eat them.

The Coco Steamboat’s interior wall is decorated with the restaurant’s history and the food photos.

From this side you can see the popular Double Stewed Pork Bone soup base.

You can also see the other 2 types of soup base, the Healthy Tomato Soup and the Nourishing Fish Head Clear Soup.

The new location for Coco Steamboat is very big as you can see in this panorama photo. It is the biggest steamboat restaurant as far as I have visited.

Coco Steamboat also has an air-con room. As you can notice here also they are now using electrical induction cooker compared to gas previously. I feel it cooks faster than the gas stove.

There are many chairs near the entrance of Coco Steamboat. I believe the weekends will be very pack so do come early to avoid the queue.

With such a big restaurant, the parking space seems to be a bit small. But do no worry as the friendly staffs there will manage the parking space for you and also the incoming traffic when you are leaving via the busy Old Klang Road. There is also a paid car park just next to this steamboat restaurant.

Coco Steamboat’s business hour is from 5:30 pm – 11:30 pm (last call). It is closed on alternate Monday.

Reservations only apply in between 6 – 6:30 pm. If you come later than that, you will have to walk in and tables will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.
